We booked a deluxe room for three nights after a ten days fly and drive in Mid-west. NY was our final destination before flying back home. We arrived early in the morning and the room was not ready yet, so we strolled around and realised soon that we were at walking distance from the main tourist attractions (it was our... more

I stayed at this hotel twice during my stay for a total of 5 nights. First time on the 5th floor and the second on 3th floor. The worst thing about the hotel is the noise! I really do not recommend it for light sleepers. Maybe if you get an higher floor it can be better, but specially when we... more

Well we book a non-smoking junior suite and were very pleased with the room we got. Clean, comfortable, and the front desk staff were very nice and helpful. We didn’t use the onsite restaurant or bar but we did use the available free computers in the lobby quite and bit. That was a nice touch since I really don’t like... more

Ten years ago, this was one of my favorite hotels in NYC. Having just spent three nights at the Roger Smith, I can only surmise that the hotel has long past its peak. The hotel feels shabby, the room was unkempt, a major hole in the wall behind the bed due to wear and tear etc. The bathroom was in... more

The Good: This hotel is in a great location for walking. We were able to walk almost everywhere! It is located almost behind the Waldorf-Astoria. We thought that we received a good value for NYC. We stayed in a large (by NYC standards) room with a queen bed. The nightly rate which included a continental breakfast was $199. This was... more

I read the reviews in Tripadvisor before I booked the Roger Smith hotel for last Saturday night. However we were sorely disappointed in the hotel. To begin with, they offered valet parking, but once we arrived, we had to wait over 10 minutes for a valet to park our car. We had booked a junior suite that was non-smoking, but... more

While the decor in the front is impressive, the rooms themselves were kind of shabby and dirty. The first impression upon stepping into the room was a musty smell - just like old people. The television was fuzzy; the air-conditioning was so-so; wireless Internet was spotty. The location is great, and the staff were friendly but it was generally a... more

We booked three nights at the Roger Smith. The staff was very friendly and helpful but the room was not very clean. The bed was clean and comfortable but the rest of the furniture in the room was old and dirty, Iwould nor sit on any of the chairs. The baseboards were covered in dust, one lamp switch was broken,... more

Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was adorable, like a country bed and breakfast (ok w/out the breakfast) our bed was oversized and comfy; and there was a comfortable couch to lounge. They had free WiFi, a nice reading desk a stocked mini fridge and spacious closets. They offer a luggage storage service for a small fee and... more

Our stay at the Hotel Roger Smith was the perfect spot for my first trip to Manhattan. The hotel is conveniently located near Grand Central Station which allowed my wife and I to get to anywhere in Manhattan with just the subway. The staff from the front desk to housekeeping were hospitable, professional, and friendly. The front desk staff were... more
